Good article nominations

It looks like you've been trying to nominate some articles for a good article review. You don't need to edit Misplaced Pages:Good article nominations (and if you do, will likely be reverted by the GA bot). You just need to follow the instructions on that page under "How to nominate an article". --BelovedFreak 19:32, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect archiving procedure

Hey, Rcsprinter. Just a procedural note, you moved Talk:Elizabeth II to an archive page with the "move" feature. Archiving is done with the cut and paste procedure; rather than moving the whole page, we just cut out individual sections and paste them in the archives. Moving the whole page, among other things, moves recent and ongoing discussions into archives - that isn't good, obviously! In addition, a lot of pages have a box that says "This talk page is automatically archived by MiszaBot I..." These templates inform you when the page is set up for automatic archiving. On these pages, users never need to perform archiving procedures themselves- it's all automatic. No action is required on your part to fix this- it's already being resolved. I'm just writing to inform you of the proper procedure. If you've performed other archiving attempts, feel free to let me know and I'll see if any action needs to be taken on them. The minor procedural mistake aside, thanks for your efforts to improve Misplaced Pages! Hopefully this will clarify any confusion to prevent further mistakes. If you have any questions, let me know.

My userpage

Hi there. Was wondering if there was any reason you edited my userpage? I see you were trying to play with the displaytitle. Are you trying to do something similar or do you have an issue with me doing it? Worm 21:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

No need to apologise, that's great thing about this place, everything can be put back. If you are trying to do it yourself, you will find the trick to the displaytitle magic word is that the page title must still resolve to its correct title. So you can change the font, what letters are capitals, or use display:none to hide words, but you can't actually change what's there. Does that make sense? My page title isn't a link either... If that is what you were after. What are you trying to do? perhaps I can help Worm 22:53, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Chapel-en-le-Frith and GA nominations

Hello, I've reviewed Chapel-en-le-Frith against the GA criteria and unfortunately the article is not at that standard yet. I had a quick look at the other articles you have nominated and, although I won't review them, I have to say that it's unlikely they'll pass as they are. You might want to consider withdrawing them. It's by no means required that you have edited an article to nominate it at WP:GAN, but it certainly helps. If you've spent some time editing an article, you will be familiar with the sources used and be able to respond to any concerns of the reviewer.

I've noticed that you've started reviewing nominations too. That's great, as we are always backlogged at WP:GAN and any help is much appreciated. If you don't mind a little friendly advice though, bearing in mind the articles you've just nominated, I'm a little concerned that you don't yet have a strong grasp of the GA criteria and it might be better to take it a little slower and hold off on reviewing any more for the time being. Please don't take this personally, it certainly took me quite a while to get the confidence to review articles and even since then, it has been a learning process. Many editors find it easier to first develop an article to GA standard, and get their first nomination passed, before they move on to reviewing. Again, that's not required, just something to think about. Let me know if you have any questions.--BelovedFreak 21:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Bowers Buses at Hayfield.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bowers Buses at Hayfield.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Re; GAN for Princes Street, Dunedin

Hi Rcsprinter - don;t want to seem impatient, but I thought I'd better check to see whether you realised I asked you a couple of questions a few days back at Talk:Princes Street, Dunedin/GA1...? Grutness...wha? 00:02, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
